I think perhaps I should have chosen a simpler knitting pattern, it is taking me forever. But I have finally finished the back and started on a sleeve…
The whole thing is that lace pattern all over. Still, it keeps me out of mischief.
ETA: That photo sent me off to examine it in a panic cos it looks as though there is a mistake. Phew! It is an optical delusion in the photo.

Which is a pretty effective number in its own right, in sufficient quantities.

Gosh! Thanks for all the lovely comments, I am blushing now!
Gus, it is King Cole ‘Riot’, which comes in some beautiful colour combinations and some truly horrendous ones - ‘Neon’ would give me sleepless nights. Not a particularly extravagant yarn to buy, I wasn’t going to spend a fortune on my first attempt at a sweater in 30 years.

It is splendid.
See what you mean about "Neon’, but there are indeed some tempting combinations (not a phrase to be used with the late J. Grundy in mind, of course). Urban and Ocean particularly appeal. Makes note to self.
You seem not to have lost the knack in the past 30 years, me dear - it’s lovely knitting as well as a fab yarn.

I judge myself against OMCB, Gus - I could never aspire to her talent.

I am definitely skulking off to my rubbish knitter’s bench I could never hope to be half as good as the rest of you
In my defence I enjoy making felt which is what my knitting can end up like

I’m not sure it is, I’m certain the paintwork on one of those trains was the inspiration for ‘Neon’.
